Hi @Sven. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To display the user's email on your frontend, you can use the getEmail helper function provided by Wasp. This function returns the user's email or null if the user doesn't have an email auth identity. Here's an example of how you can use it:

import { getEmail } from 'wasp/auth'  
  
const MainPage = ({ user }) => {  
 const email = getEmail(user)  
 // Now you can use the email variable in your JSX
 // ...
}

import { getEmail } from 'wasp/auth'  
  
const MainPage = ({ user }) => {  
 const email = getEmail(user)  
 // Now you can use the email variable in your JSX
 // ...
}

You can find more details about this in the Wasp documentation (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/entities#accessing-the-auth-fields). As for extending the registration field for your OpenSaaS project, you can customize the SignupForm component by passing in the additionalFields prop. This prop can be either a list of extra fields or a render function. Here's an example:

import {  
 SignupForm,  
 FormError,  
 FormInput,  
 FormItemGroup,  
 FormLabel,  
} from 'wasp/client/auth'  
  
export const SignupPage = () => {  
 return (  
 <SignupForm  
 additionalFields={[  
 {  
 name: 'address',  
 label: 'Address',  
 type: 'input',  
 validations: {  
 required: 'Address is required',  
 },  
 },  
 // Add more fields as needed
 ]}  
 />  
 )  
}

import {  
 SignupForm,  
 FormError,  
 FormInput,  
 FormItemGroup,  
 FormLabel,  
} from 'wasp/client/auth'  
  
export const SignupPage = () => {  
 return (  
 <SignupForm  
 additionalFields={[  
 {  
 name: 'address',  
 label: 'Address',  
 type: 'input',  
 validations: {  
 required: 'Address is required',  
 },  
 },  
 // Add more fields as needed
 ]}  
 />  
 )  
}

You can find more details about this in the Wasp documentation (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/overview#signupform-customization). Remember, for the server to know how to save these extra fields to the database, you need to define the auth.methods.{authMethod}.userSignupFields field in your main.wasp file. Here's an example:

app crudTesting {  
 // ...  
 auth: {  
 userEntity: User,  
 methods: {  
 usernameAndPassword: {  
 userSignupFields: import { userSignupFields } from "@src/auth/signup",  
 },  
 },  
 onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login",  
 },  
}

app crudTesting {  
 // ...  
 auth: {  
 userEntity: User,  
 methods: {  
 usernameAndPassword: {  
 userSignupFields: import { userSignupFields } from "@src/auth/signup",  
 },  
 },  
 onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login",  
 },  
}

Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist: Perhaps try again in 15mins?

doesnt work, i cant seem to get the username/email on a page. Do i really need to write my own query for that?

If you are using the SaaS template you can check @src/user/AccountPage.tsx

Sven•3d ago

xxxx.tsx:131 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'email') would this be because it is not loaded yet or something when adding {!!user.email && ( )} it still does not work i imported : import type { User } from 'wasp/entities'; and added : ({ user }: { user: User })

You can trigger Kapa mentioning it again and give him more code context
